Four contracts between the sundry kings of Spain and certain conquistadors.

The terms of the agreements generally discuss rights granted by the Crown to the relevant explorer and stipulate what the explorer is required to provide the Crown in return. Gold and other precious metals top the lists. When originally catalogued by Maggs the official signature at the end of the last agreement was attributed to Baltasar Lopez de Castro; but on the original cataloguing present with the text a later hand has suggested Antonio Fernandez de Castro. <br> <br> Good evidence of the terms under which the conquistadors operated in the New World including Florida.

1557649ED93VJP3OThe Hague and Brussels 1557. Folio 36 x 25.5 cm. Manuscript mortgage agreement signed by King Philips representatives written in brown ink on parchment in a nearly upright cursive gothic hand with about 36 lines per page in a text block measuring about 25.5 x 18 cm. With a typescript transcription of the main text in red and an interlinear translation in Spanish in black by Prof. Dr. Edgard Verheyden. 2 blank 9 1 blank pp. Original mortgage agreement in Dutch in which King Philip II of Spain who had sovereignty over the Low Countries and held the title Count of Holland grants Jan Hanneman the rights to the tithes from his lands of Voorburg and Voorschoten. Philip had succeeded to the Spanish crown the year before on the abdication of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and the present elegantly written text explains that he and the Spanish Government wish to ameliorate their "very large and excessive debts" it later speaks of 300000 guilders which would be 50000 Flemish pounds resulting from years of war the building and maintenance of many fortifications and the salaries of the troops so the King wishes to mortgage or sell some of his royal domains and the rights to tithes that go with them. Efforts in 1556 had not yielded enough. Spain was later able to finance the wars with treasures from the colonies most famously transported in the annual silver fleet beginning in 1566 but here a decade earlier the King was desperate for funds.Formerly folded. In very good condition but with the sewing recent and rather loose. A primary source for Spain's financial state in 1557 and for the history of Voorburg and Voorschoten. unknown
1571HCLAD73TWO2SAntwerp: Christophe Plantin 1571. Modern vellum. 4to. With armorial woodcut on the title page. Rare royal decree on marine insurance addressed to the Council of Brabant replacing the decree of 27 October 1570. In 1569 the Duke of Alfa took a radical measure by banning all marine insurance. "This "provisional" decree of 31 March 1569 was abolished by an ordinance of 27 October 1570 of Philips II. Marine insurances were again allowed. Ships could only leave the port with the permission of an officer after an inspection of their armament. This decree also charged that all policies should contain a detailed report of the goods on board. Diego Gonzalez Gante was appointed to inspect these contracts. He also had to prepare an new instruction. This decree contained as well a formulary of an marine insurance. After a petition of the merchants and Nations of Antwerp a new ordinance was promulgated three months later on 20 January 1571. This decree provided that only ten percent remained to the own risk of the insurance taker. The goods the name of the vessel and the captain had to be mentioned in the insurance policy. To prevent fraud Diego Gonzalez Gante was also appointed to control everything. An insurance policy which was not recorded by him was to be declared null and void. Not only in Antwerp but also in Bruges Amsterdam and Middelburg people under his authority had full powers to verify this" Huybrechts. This decree also prohibited life assurance.With three lines underscored otherwise a very good copy and wholly untrimmed.l USTC 401508 6 copies; Voet 1981 4 copies incl. 3 the same; WorldCat 3 the same copies; cf.

1573B556<p>Mexico City 9th day of March1573 size 450 x 320mm</p><p>SIR FRANCIS DRAKE'S ENGLISH PIRATES</p><p>Arrest Warrant For English Pirates Signed By The First Inquisitor of New Spain in 1573</p><p>Remarkable arrest warrant signed by the Inquisitor of New Spain directing the arrest and capture of 5 accused heretics including two English Pirates who had recently completed a daring jail break from prison in Mexico City.</p><p>This is an official arrest warrant dated March 9 1573 ordered by Pedro Moya de Contreras c. 1528-1591 first inquisitor of the newly founded Mexican Inquisition addressed to Don Alonso Sánchez de Miranda Dean of Guadalajara.</p><p>Moya de Contreras arrived in New Spain in 1571 as the newly appointed inquisitor thereafter rising to the office of Archbishop of Mexico City and finally Viceroy of New Spain 1584-1585. This two-fold letter is part of the legacy of the Inquisition in the New World aimed at ecclesiastical authorities and their flock to raise awareness of the rampant menace of Lutheran individuals in Mexico.</p><p>Following the failed attempt by the fabled pirates Francis Drake and John Hawkins to seize San Juan de Ulúa in 1568 about 500 mostly English pirates remained stranded in New Spain. Over the course of the next several years these 500 scattered throughout Mexico where they intermingled with the locals. Some 77 of these fell into the hands of Luis Carvajal the elder alcalde mayor of Tampico. Carvajal a converso was the patriarch of the Carvajal family which was later tragically tortured and murdered by the Inquisition as crypto-Jews. They were delivered to Mexico City as prisoners of war and were given relatively minor sentences of forced labor in various places throughout Mexico.</p><p>With the arrival of Moya de Contreras in 1571 the remaining pirates were no longer considered as mere prisoners of war but as heretics - "Luteranos" - and as such subject to the Inquisition's regulations. In 1572 Pedro Moya de Contreras issued a general order for all remnants of the Hawkins expedition to be apprehended and put to trial in New Spain. As a result about 36 were again rounded up captured and condemned for heresy. This group was processed through the Inquisition's court where they were subjected to a grand auto-da-fe in 1574 the largest ever held.</p><p>Three of these pirates are mentioned in Moya's letter to Don Alonso Sánchez de Miranda:</p><p>"Guillermo de Siles a Frenchman of 24 years of age small in height with pale features with little growth of hair on his face small blue eyes ."</p><p>"Pablo Haquines de la Cruz Paul Hawkins an Englishman who came with the armada of John Hawkins with sturdy shoulders and pale features with little growth of hair on his face of about 20 years of age ."</p><p>"Andres Martin Andrew Martin an Englishman with those from the said armada young man without growth of hair tall and slim with pale features of about 18 years of age."</p><p>The three had escaped from the Jail of the Inquisitor by burrowing under the walls of the cell in the middle of the night an escape which was apparently previously unrecorded. The arrest warrant provides that should anyone contravene the order or give aid to these heretics they will face the prospect of "latae sentenciae excommunication" including the sequestration of their possessions.</p><p>The actions of Pedro Moya de Contreras at that time under the supervision of Pedro de los Ríos chief inquisitor in Mexico clearly reflect all new precepts and creeds from the Tridentine Council 1545-1563 brought along to the New World to reform the Catholic faith.</p><p>The following is an English Translation of the arrest warrant provided by Boris Bruton:</p><p>We doctor don Pedro Moya de Contreras apostolic inquisitor against vile heresy and apostasy for the city of Mexico and Provinces of New Spain by our authority apostolic etc. order you Reverend don Alonso Sanchez de Miranda dean of Guadalajara commissary of this Holy Office to arrest the persons of Gomes de Leon his Majesty's servant or His Majesty's scribe resident of Puebla de Los Angeles a man of about 30 years old very fair of complexion of a good height wearing breeches with a short green cape; and Francisco Gonzales captain resident of Toluca elderly man of about 50 years grey-haired short in size scant beard hooked nose and tanned as though coming from the mountains dressed all in black.

1572RF 1076<p><strong>Royal Provision of Phillip II Confirming and Ratifying the Privileges Granted by the Masters of the Order of Santiago to the Village of Corral de Almaguer Toledo 1572</strong></p><p>Manuscript. Small folio. 12 1/4 x 8 1/4". 8 double-sided vellum manuscript leaves originally bound together now unbound hand painted and decorated in blue red and gilt at various points throughout the text. The first page is hand-painted and decorated along the edge and includes a large decorative initial in multiple colors. Manuscript text in gothic style. Signed "Yo el Rey" on the back of the final leaf by King Phillip II of Spain in 1572.</p><p>ATTRACTIVELY ILLUMINATED EARLY MANUSCRIPT. JUDAICA INTEREST. Our manuscript contains the 4 confirmed provisions originally drafted by Infante Henry Duke of Aragon 1421 and 1440 Alonso de Cárdenas here listed as "Alfoso" sic in 1480 and then "The Catholic Kings" in 1494 all of whom at various times served as "Grand Masters of the Order of Santiago". The provisions were instigated against the Jewish communities of the villages of Corral de Almaguer and Ocana in Toledo province. Residents of the towns affiliated with the Order of Santiago repeately complained throughout the 15th and 16th centuries to the the authorities of that order of that the Jews and later conversos had bought land from Christians and had not paid any taxes on their purchases. Ultimately the Jews of Corral de Almaguer were ordered to pay comparable taxes to the Christians for said property but the Jews of Ocana were excepted because of their previous payments of other taxes. Given the fact that this manuscript copy dates from 1572 and was signed and reconfirmed by King Phillip II so long after the expulsion of 1492 shows there were still clearly tensions and persecution of local conversos even long after the communities had converted to Catholicism.</p><p>The top left margin on the front of the first leaf contains a handwritten note in ink stating in Spanish "It consists of this-privilege that Juan Collado was a secretary of the Order of Santiago in the year 1480". There are a few additional scant marginal notes in ink throughout and additional handwritten notes and signatures some indecipherable on the verso of the final leaf under the King's signature.</p><p>This document provide a fascinating and invaluable resource to those studying the history of Jews in Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries.</p><p>Text in Spanish.</p> hardcover
